ARTICLE #1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- Debut for a new battery and solar cell
Journal of the American Chemical Society
The discovery of a new electrolyte often sparks major advances in batteries, solar cells and other energy storage and conversion devices. An electrolyte is a substance, such as hydrosulphuric acid in a car battery, that contains free ions and conducts electricity. New electrolytes fostered everything from the venerable NiCd battery to the latest lithium-ion polymer batteries and dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC).
Scientists in China are reporting development of a new aluminum iodide (AlI3) battery. It uses aluminum and iodine as anode and cathode respectively, and the in situ formation of aluminum iodide as electrolyte. In a report scheduled for the July 19 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, this new electrolyte also is used to m
